 I use XFCE Fedora, with Zim 0.59.
 To change my system text editor to Geany, I simply deleted the file
 defaults.list in my home directory
 Path: ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list
 The next time I select ToolEdit Source, Zim gives me the
 choice to set a default text editor. Does it work for you?

I did not have the file ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list .
I quit zim, created the file with the contents:

  text/plain=gvim.desktop

Restarted zim, and now I am happy to report that Edit Source opens gvim.

Thanks for the help everyone.

 Hello,

 I'm running zim 0.59 on Ubuntu 12.04.1.  Starting with the 0.57
 release, the editor that is selected for Tools-Edit Source is not the
 one I want.  Prior to 0.57, there was an Applications tab in the
 preferences dialog, in which I could specify my preferred text editor.
  That is gone now.  Looking at the documentation, I see there is a
 reference to a Configure Applications dialog, but I don't see that
 option in any of the menus.

Isn't that the Custom tools in the Tools menu? But you can't set
the default editor there.


 How do I specify the editor I want to be launched with Tools-Edit
 Source?  I'm using XFCE if that makes any difference.

I'm Using LXDE on Debian/Sid.

check
.config/zim/preferences.conf:

[GtkInterface]
text_editor=xdg-open

xdg-open is controlled by various mime types in
.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list

Mine:

  text_editor=gvim

gvim is the editor I want.  gedit is what I'm getting.

Changing the pref to

  text_editor=xdg-open

(after closing zim) has no effect.  From the command line, using xdg-open
on a .txt file does launch gvim, so the mime setting should be good.

Setting the pref to the full path of vim also does not solve it.

Other ideas?

Thanks,
